I stamped the Taylored Expressions Rose Bouquet image using Perfect Medium and embossed with Gold Detail Powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Classic Squares Large and inked through the die with Stonewashed Ink. I cut a Spellbinders Captivating Squares out of Soft Gold Card.

I stamped the sentiment from the Taylored Expressions Rose Wreath Stamp Set, again using Perfect Medium and embossed with Gold Detail Powder. I cut it out using a Justrite Antique Tags One and inked through the die with Stonewashed Ink. I cut a a Spellbinders A2 Devine Eleoquence Die out of Soft Gold Card.

I've taken early delivery of stock of the stamp designs for my next shows on June 11th. Sue's artist has done a fantastic job once again. He's designed some gorgeous frames for me and I've put some A5 Sentiment sets together to fit within the frames.

So, there are 4 frame stamps which contain an inner and an outer frame -

So, the idea is that the inner and outer frames can be mixed and matched however you want or you can just use the inner frame or just the outer frame.

There are 2 sets of sentiments to go with the frames. The first - All Occasions Sentiments contains 27 sentiments sized to fit the inner frames (please note a couple of them won't fit inside the Garden Frame - that one has the smallest space in the centre) -

The second set - True Thoughts contains 12 sentiments sized to fit within the outer frames -

Both sentiment sets are A5 and unmounted. You can, of course, use these sentiments without the frames.

The combinations amongst the frames and sentiments is huge. I can't wait to share my ideas with you, but I'm afraid you'll have to wait a couple of weeks, sorry!

I have also taken delivery of one of the new Couture Creations Embossing Folders that is on the show. It's called Grand Jo Jo and it's a little like Tied Together, I think so anyway.

JULIA WATTS......you little tease!! You show us those wonderful new stamps THEN say I can't share with you yet....... I love todays card no need to worry what colours to choose, just choose one and go for it. Thanks Julia. Mabex

Hi Julia. I love the card, the colours are beautiful and I love the background : ) Thank you for the sneak peek of the gorgeous new stamps. How do you choose from such a wonderful selection? Enjoy your prep. Can't wait to see what you have made : ) Take care.

Hi Julia, what a classy card, I love it all, but especially that background stamp. The new stamps are really stunning, and some great sentiments too. Have a good bank holiday weekend, and I hope you get some time to relax as well. Bx

Morning JuliaWatched you two shows last night, Martyn is a card, just love the Moroccan Background stamp - must get this one - and you are a tease - can't wait to get back from my holidays to see what you have in store for us.

Hi Julia,What a gorgeous card! It was one of my favourites from the Shows. It stood out as did a blue and white oneI don't have gold embossing powder so might have to remedy that! The background stamp is gorgeous too. They are all so clear. The new stamps look beautiful too - good idea having different sizes. Look forward to seeing those in action - as it were!Have a lovely weekend,Love Myra

Hi JuliaLoving this card would never have thought of putting gold on blue, but works beautifully!Now these new stamps and sentiments - WOW. Think I will treat myself to some sentiments and loving the Grand Jo Jo folder. Then that will be my budget for June - as I have a holiday and another in the future to start saving for. But a girl can never have too many things in her crafty stash!!Enjoy your prepping.Sheila x
